[I&W] Some history and points of view
ChristiaanB94
Some facts about Iron and Wine!
Values
Iron and Wine is the oldest and one of the most active parties in the Netherlands, always open for players and ideas. I&W has some very experienced and active members who proved the eNetherlands a big service. Even though Iron and Wine wasn’t always the biggest party by number of members it has been in most governments of the Netherlands and United Netherlands so far.
Activity on governments included times when other parties made a coalition, but asked Iron and Wine members to fulfill a ministry job. I&W always supported this.
Iron and Wine believes that quality of work and cooperation is a value which is very important and it always tries to find solutions in difficult situations and to find the best compromises.
Foreign Affairs
Iron and Wine is an international oriented party. It was a supporterr of PEACE Global Community since the beginning. Also, I&W member Flando was one of the two founders of the European Social Alliance (the other one being CreveRoeland of GVD) Iron and Wine has build up many good relationships with other countries and politicians in other countries. A lot of I&W members also have work in other countries.
Another goal of the Foreign Affairs department would be to involve more people in communication with our friends and allies from all over the world by an embassy program.
I&W believes that the eNetherlands need strong allies to survive.
Internal Affairs
Information
One of I&W's biggest goals is letting all state institutions (government, congresss, etc.) provide as much information to the people as possible. As it is the only way for people to know what their representatives are doing, which is crucial for any democracy.
Congress
Iron and Wine thinks that there are too many Congress rules at the moment. For example when a donation has to be made to the state companies or to the ministry of defense it will at least 24 hours before the minister can take the money. Iron and Wine will strive to improve the efficiency of congress and reduce the bureaucracy.
Media & Education.
I&W wants the the government to spend more time working on Education. Which, together with our plans for information will keep citizens active. Also, education must go further then in the past. It must educate active people to be good politicians (ministers/congressmen/etc.) This is not only the task of the government, I&W works hard to teach their own members. The tasks will mainly be these:
I&W thinks that private media is too small in the eNetherlands. And the government should work hard to boost it.
Economy
Iron and Wine want the government to let the monetary market stabilise on its own. This way the government saves on gold costs and there is some freedom for individuals to make some profits.
Iron and Wine would like to see a president for the Dutch Bank who takes care of increasing the funds available on the bank, through the Monetary market.
There should also be some state companies in certain areas that can coexist next to private companies. These state companies won't be in competition with other companies on the market.
Iron and Wine believes the state companies should only compete on the market if other countries own monopoly positions.
History
Iron & Wine is the oldest party of the eNetherlands, and has always been one of the biggest.

Met veel interesse gelezen! 😃 Wel wat puntjes... (Als ik plotseling in het Engels typ, niet schrikken: dan is het een citaat 😛)
--- Iron and Wine thinks that there are too many Congress rules at the moment. (...) Iron and Wine will strive to improve the efficiency of congress and reduce the bureaucracy.
Tja, daar ben ik het gewoon mee eens. Het congres moet eenvoudig te begrijpen zijn om onervaren congresleden aan te moedigen zich actief in te zetten. Alleen vraag ik me af of het probleem dat je schetst op dit moment wel zo grootschalig aanwezig is.
-- (...) education must go further then in the past. It must educate active people to be good politicians (ministers/congressmen/etc.)
Ik weet niet hoe het er nu aan toe gaat, maar in mijn jonge dagen was het zo dat de Educatie zich in het bijzonder richtte op onervaren, nieuwe spelers. Dat ging destijds al zo stroef (doordat er weinig mensen bovenop zaten, de benadering van nieuwe spelers in het Engels was en het Coaching-systeem aanvankelijk [later niet meer!] log en bureaucratisch was). Is dat tegenwoordig anders? Zo niet, dan lijkt het me niet verstandig om mensen die toch al actief zijn actief te maken in de politiek; dat zijn behoorlijk intensieve investeringen. Is daar wel de mankracht voor?
-- I&W thinks that private media is too small in the eNetherlands.
Bedoel je met private media de krantjes van de mannen op straat? In dat geval kan ik je enigszins geruststellen: ik ben van plan om, als ik alles op de baan heb, met mijn eigen krant genuanceerd/persoonlijk nieuws/analyses te brengen. 🙂 Elk beetje helpt. 😁
-- (...) there should be a CAO (Collective Employees Agreement), so employees get paid a decent salary. There should also be some state companies in certain areas that can coexist next to private companies.
Ik ben een groot voorstander van staatsbedrijven! 😃 Maar die CAO begrijp ik niet: is er geen minimumloon meer, dat de staat kan instellen?
Nogmaals: met interesse gelezen. 😃
Waarom valt de helft van mijn smileys weg? 🙁

De media in Nederland die door de burgers wordt gepubliceerd, daar vallen de artikels van de regering niet onder! We moeten ervoor zorgen dat de artikels meer gelezen en gevote worden. Zo zal iedereen veel beter geinformeerd zijn

Ja die is er nog steeds, maar eigenlijk valt dit deel een beetje weg doordat de Working skills zijn verwijderd en iedereen dezelfde productivity heeft.
Iedereen dezelfde productiviteit? 😒 Dat is absurd, hoe kan er nou fatsoenlijk geconcurreerd worden op een markt waarbij elke speler even productief is? Dat cijfert de kleine bedrijven met laagproductieve werknemers volledig weg. Blijft er zo niet alleen nog een handvol grote bedrijven over? Goed dat er dan iets aan zou gebeuren, inderdaad. 😉
I&W, de partij die achterloopt!
1. Donation procedure: donations from the in-game state treasury to state organizations can skip the debating procedure. The in-game vote needs to include a link to the Congress topic specifically assigned to this kind of donations.
Met interesse en een brede glimlach gelezen!
"Iron and Wine ... ....always tries to find solutions in difficult situations and to find the best compromises."
We hebben het toch over hetzelfde forum, he? 🙂
'Forum'? Het is een partij en naar mijn mening is het wel waar. Natuurlijk zijn er dingen te vinden die stroef hebben gelopen, maar dat is bij elke partij en haast bij elke persoon wel eens zo.
ArtemIvanov, it can skip the debate, but not voting so your point is invalid.
@osxy: Read again.

You can't skip an in-game vote if the money comes from the in-game treasury, so the procedure simply cannot be shorter.
Alright, then it looks indeed like 'achter de feiten aanlopen' ;- )
Got confused myself with the forum-vote.

Nice article, by the way 😁
